THE PUB

1 SAMSUNG GALAXY S22 PLUS

You absolutely need a smartphone for going to the pub - for checking news, posting to social media, placing half-time bets, ignoring your mates, getting a taxi home, and so on - and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus is already one of the best phones of 2022. Having a phone also gives you something to do if you're the first to arrive or the last to leave.

2 ALCOSENSE LITE 2 BREATHALYSER

While its results probably wouldn't stand up in a court of law, the AlcoSense Lite 2 Breathalyser does give you a decent idea of how much you've had to drink and what your blood alcohol concentration actually is. Whether you want to avoid a hangover or just convince your friend not to drive home, it's a handy gadget to have around.

3 MOPHIE POWERSTATION PLUS

Under no circumstances do you want your phone running out of juice before the night is over, which is where the Mophie Powerstation Plus comes in. It can charge just about any brand of phone plus several other devices besides, and you get a choice of four different colours - from black to light pink - so you can find the model that best suits your style.

4 PACSAFE V100 RFID BLOCKING WALLET

Your credit and debit cards come with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips, which could in theory be tapped into by a hacker in close proximity. Something like the Pacsafe V100 can keep your plastic safe and sound by blocking RFID signals, giving you a secure and compact way of carrying your cards around until it's time for your round.
